Mattie joined CIRA in August 2020 to help design, implement, and maintain websites and software for researchers in the CloudSat Data Processing Center (DPC) and RAMMB (part of NOAA/NESDIS). In 2022, they also joined the MetSat group in a part-time capacity to resume scientific research.
Mattie received a BS in Meteorology with Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Miami in 2010 and a PhD in Atmospheric Science from Rutgers University in 2015. After a one year appointment as a Post Doctoral Associate at the University of Miami inspired a passion for software development, Mattie then spent four years developing web applications for non-profits prior to being offered the opportunity to combine all these experiences by working at CIRA.
